Did the bad weather make it not possible for them to train? Were they not offered St. Petersberg? Those two Russian guys also did poorly at test skates. Did that play a part as well? Could it be an excuse?

As the rules have been changed, I can not judge 48.11 for Shelepen is good or not good. Her PB is 59.54. Need protocols.

Well with the change of protocols, scores should be maybe on average 3 points lower than last season, so 48+ is not great for Shelepen, likely she popped a jump and had her 3-3 downgraded, I don't see a deduction so I don't think she fell. 48 is good for Nina though , and she beat Shelepen on PCS! Yay!

Thank you for this! Now, Shelepen is 2nd and big surprise Silete is 1st.
